ourhumanrightsstories.org.uk tells the real life human rights stories of people in the UK. Although these stories are rarely told and often overshadowed, they show how the Human Rights Act can provide a vital lifeline to individuals from all walks of life. From older people in care homes, disabled children being a part of the school community, to women seeking safety these stories highlight how the Human Right Act can offer something for everyone.
